SETTING THE STAGE(To be reviewed before the session begins.)
Session Overview In this session, participants will learn how to set up MACs to print wirelessly using the default browser option,
and the IP address option
Focusing Questions How can I set up my MAC laptop to print wirelessly? Materials
The following materials are used in this session:
-Laptops
-Projector
-Printer
Resources
INSTRUCTION (Typically lasts about 20% of session.)
Framing the Session
One of the major problems we find in the classroom is that the laptops that are assigned to a room are not configured to print off of the printers they are supposed to. I-squad members can be of great help to the teacher if they know how to do this and can monitor that all the laptops in their classroom are printing off of the printer in their classroom. Teaching
"The first thing that we need to do is locate where in the computer we are able to make changes to the printer configuration. What I would like you to do is to locate the finder, and double click it.”
“In the finder, you must now locate the applications folder. After you locate it, please click it to open it.”
“In applications, we must now locate the utilities folder. After you locate it, please click it to open it.”
“Inside utilities, we need to locate printer setup utility. After you locate it, please click it.”
“Now that we are in the printer setup utility, you will notice that there may be a list of computers already setup to print for your computer. If there are none, then we must assign one to it."
"Click the "add" button to add a new printer for this computer."
"Now you have two options. The first option is to pick a computer using the default browser. Click this option."
"When you use the default browser, the computer will generate a list of all available computers on the network. In order to choose the printer you want, simply highlight it, and then click "add"".
"The printer now appears in the printer list and can be selected as the default printer now if you choose to do so."
"Now, I would like to show you how to setup an IP printer to print wirelessly off of your laptop."
"In order to do this, you need to click "add" again from the printer list"
"But this time, instead of selecting default browser, click IP Printer."
"Now all you have to do is simply type in the IP address of the printer, in the line called "address" and click "add"."
Guided Practice
"Now watch me as I set up my computer to print from the printer in this room on the projector."
WORK TIME(Typically lasts about 60–70% of session.)
Getting Started
"Now that everyone has seen how this is done, I would like for you all to take the next 20 minutes to set up your own computers to print from one of the varios computers in the building."
"It does not matter what printer you choose to setup as your default printer, but I recommend that you set your computers to print from one of the printers in a classroom you are in."
"Let's see how many different computers you can set as your default in this school." Participant Activity
Participants will... Step 1 : Find a printer to set as your default printer. Step 2 : Write a test page with your name on it. Step 3 : Print the test page. Step 4 : Report back to the class of what printer you used, and if you were successful in printing your test page. Step 5
Facilitator Conferring
Circulate around the room and confer with participants. Make sure that studnets are choosing printers that are readily available to them.
Take note of particularly good examples of work that can be presented during the Share. SHARE(Typically lasts about 10–20% of session.)
Share
Ask selected participants to share particularly good examples of their work.
Lead a discussion about how this work addresses the focusing questions.

TEMPLATE DESCRIPTION
Each session contains the following components and can be conducted in 45–60 minutes:
Session Overview
This is a concise summary of the session, and how it fits into the training series as a whole.
Focusing Questions
These are the specific questions that guide the session. The purpose of the session is to address these questions.
Materials
This is a list of all materials that the facilitator must make sure are present at the training site, including technology resources.
Resources
All handouts can be found linked from the Resources section of the participant agenda. Participants will be able to access these materials online during the session, but the facilitator should review them ahead of time, and any instructional support charts should be posted in the room before the session begins.
Framing the Session
The facilitator explains to the participants what will be covered in this session, how it fits into the training series as a whole, and how it may be incorporated into their reflective practice.
Teaching
This is a short period of facilitator-led instruction designed to prepare the participants for their work time. The facilitator might demonstrate a specific use of technology in an authentic curricular context, selected participants might be invited to share relevant experiences, or the group as a whole might contribute to a shared brainstorming list. The facilitator should be careful to avoid giving a lengthy lecture or straying too far from the focusing questions.
Guided Practice
Sometimes it is helpful for the facilitator to walk the participants through a process step by step. This gives the participants the hands-on experience of work time before losing the scaffolding of facilitator-led instruction.
Getting Started
The facilitator gives instructions to the participants for their work time, and lets them know what they will be expected to share at the end of the session.
Participant Activity
Participants are given time to practice the specific process they have seen demonstrated. They may be working independently, with a partner, or in small groups.
Facilitator Conferring
As participants work, the facilitator moves around the room holding short conferences to help guide the work and make it more productive. The facilitator should be at eye level with participants during each conference. These conversations need not be especially private; the facilitator may invite someone sitting nearby to listen in. If common needs among the group emerge, they can either be addressed immediately or during the sharing time.
Share
Participants gather at the end of the session to demonstrate what they have done, discuss experiences they have had, and reflect on what they have learned. This is an opportunity to return to the focusing questions that began the session, and discuss what has been accomplished in the interval.
